"Init Ambigous name ..." for PageTemplateFile
by peter＠mail.grenna.net 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

I get messages like this when I use this code (pseudo):: MyClass.__dict__['page.html'] = MyClass.page_html 2003-07-21T13:47:24 PROBLEM(100) Init Ambiguous name for method of Products.QDProduct.QDSP.QDSP: "changesettings_html" != "changesettings.html" With the DTMLFile module, when this happens I use _setName() and the message goes away. _setName() does not work for PageTemplateFile instances. What should I use? I have searched the mailinglist but to no avail.

Failed to reset inituser
by Wouter Vanden Hove 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

Silly me, I lost my password to the zope-management interface. I try to set a new one via the shell, but I receive following error: [root@*** zope]# python zpasswd.py inituser Username: admin Password: *** Verify password: *** Please choose a format from: SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default) CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password CLEARTEXT - no protection Encoding: SHA Traceback (innermost last): File "zpasswd.py", line 200, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv) File "zpasswd.py", line 184, in main if encoding.upper() in ['SHA', 'CRYPT', 'CLEARTEXT']: AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'upper' Anyone know a solution? Since execution halts, the new inituser-account is not active, so I can't login. Wouter Vanden Hove

Perhaps the python that comes with your linux isn't the same one of the one that you use with zope. Some old python versions doesn't support things like: myString.upper() So, you had better try: PathToMyZope/bin/python zpasswd.py inituser or if you compiled python from source, you should use this path.

Re: Generic add page template fails (solved)

OK, I've solved it by using another way (details are below) > I'm trying to do a generic add page template where I don't > have to write the class name. The name will be taken from > an attribute of the template object. If you see the file > OFS/Image.py, you will see something like this: > > manage_addImageForm=DTMLFile('dtml/imageAdd',globals(),Kind='Image',kind='im age') > > The attribute Kind is called from OFS/dtml/imageAdd.dtml like this: > > <dtml-var "manage_form_title(this(), _,form_title='Add %s' % > Kind,help_product='OFSP',help_topic='File_Add.stx')"> On my python class I put: manage_addBoringForm=PageTemplateFile('ZPT/addBoring',globals()) manage_addBoringForm.Kind='Boring' manage_addBoringForm._owner=None And here is how I called it from the ZPT: <h1 tal:define="pageTitle python:here.manage_form_title(here, request,form_title='Add %s' % template.Kind)" tal:replace="structure pageTitle">Add myClass </h1> ... <form action="someAction" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" tal:define="formAction python:'manage_add'+template.Kind" tal:attributes="action formAction"> ... My idea, as you see, is to write a macro that I can use from another Products, which I will migrate from ZClasses to python based products. Greetings, Josef

Using DB Connection in Zope Product?
by Chris Bruce 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

Is there a way to develop a zope product (filesystem based) that can use a Zope DB Connection object that exists in the ZODB? I want to create a product and allow the user to specify the database connection to use. If so, how do you reference an existing object in your product code. Also, can you recommend any good product development tutorials? Thanks in advance. Chris

How do I encrypt files in the ZODB
by grissom＠qwickconnect.net 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

I recently finished my first project in Zope! A file managements system with it's own admin screens. I have recently received requirements for the next version in which the client is asking that the contractors have access to everything but the PDFs that have been uploaded. I know that I could encrypt the PDFs before that they are uploaded but the secretaries that do it it have a hard enough time just creating PDFs. This leads me to my subject. How do I encrypt files in the ZODB? With regards to just PDFs. Something in Python? A product that I missed? A How To that I missed? Upload the files to a external file system that is encrypted? Any sugestions, feedback and general ideas are appreciated. Rob G.

RE: Formulator--pre-selecting a line in a multiline field
by Dieter Fischer 22 Jul '03

Hello David Please reply to the list. In Zope.org a reply will not go the list, you have to make a reply all (and then delete the sender, so he doesn't get the mail twice). I was also experementing a lot with formulator, unfortunately, the documentation is not always so clear :-( , but it's open source :-) > The reason I used :string instead of :int as you suggested is Make it an :int! I don't think, it works without. When you have a list as you put in your example: ABC, 1 DEF, 2 HIJ, 3 I really don't understang why not. > This is my Python function that builds the list: > ---------------------------------------------------- > #Return a list of staff > ... I always use Z SQL Methods. I have in the TALES tab in ITEMS something like: python:sql.language_codes_sql_py() where I call: for sql in container.sql.language_codes_sql(code=code): ... The first is a python script which calls the Z SQL Method (all in a folder sql). Unfortunately I wasn't able to call a Z SQL Method directly in the TALES/ITEM. Either it's a bug or my lack of knowledge. The reason why I'm using Z SQL Method is, that I've got all my SQL stuff together (I like that, I'm an RDBMS man). > Here is the question -- in the Formulator widget definition form, you can > set three different values as DEFAULT: > > 1) PROPERTIES DEFAULT > 2) TALES DEFAULT > 3) OVERRIDE DEFAULT 1. This is o.k. when you're sure, the values are not changing. I put all the stuff at least in a code table ( because the values alway *will* change ;-) ) 2. This is the good place 3. Have you noticed, that formulator installs a help? When you're in the ZMI and press the help in the upper right corner, a help window with a help topic for formulator is opening: There you find "Formulator Field - Override": Note: the Override tab is being phased out in favor of the TALES tab. > The TALES default value needs to be a TAL statement. I am unsure how to > reference (the syntax) a value in a variable (company_contact_id_selected) > as a TAL statement. I would like to load the data value from the hidden > field above -- which I called "company_contact_id_selected:string". Do you > know the proper TAL syntax?

What kind of Zope product would you like to see?
by Jim McNeill 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

Sorry, this is going to contain several ignorant assumptions. I've decided to write a Zope product, and my next step is deciding what it should do. Having knocked around a few poor ideas, I thought this might be the right place to look for suggestions. Perhaps someone out there has an idea for a simple product that'll do just what they need, but they can't code it themselves.I'm happy to jump in there and get coding if the idea's a good one. All I'd ask from you is some patience in debugging my efforts.Just so you know: this will be my first attempts in Python, let alone Zope. I've just finished reading the 'Zope Bible' and Web Application Construction Kit and am keen to put what I've learnt into practice by creating an open source Zope product and try to make a few quid from it. I'm a sysadmin with more years experience than I like to admit to, and I'm looking to this as my route out of that.For example, I was thinking of some sort of helpdesk thing, but I see this is already covered by the IssueHandler and 'f2w' projects (the first isn't looking for volunteers, the second requires Linux, which I haven't got). Then I'm thinking of something for running clubs, but Plone seems to have that covered better than I ever will. Maybe you're trying to run a zoo or a prison or a bike shop and I can provide you with a solution? Or you know someone who does?I will be quite happy to put this up on sourceforge if I get anywhere, but I don't want to do that until I have code for people to play with.CheersJim --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

How to see published folders with Plone...
by Gelin Patrick 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

Hi, When I publish a folder (with Reviewer role) I would like anybody to see my folder in "my Folder" tab or something like that. But it doesn't work like this. In fact anybody can find documents stored in my published folder with ZCatalog research tool but they can't see my published folder directly. Is there a way to display published folders? Thanks. Patrick Gelin
